Detroit News survey asking women if they would have an abortion if the baby had down syndrome. One respondent said yes:
“Let’s be practical. I am not giving up 80% or more of my life to care for a Down Syndrome baby that will be depend on me through his/her adult life. “Corkey” was lucky and probably the only cast to get ratings to play on the hearts of others. Let me be as upfront as possible……This is the ‘Me’ generation, and with health costs increasing endlessly, who has the money?”
Quoted in the blog JivinJehosephat
Over 95% of all children with down syndrome report being happy, and many parents, find raising these children very rewarding. There is even a waiting list for adopting down syndrome babies

I am a very proud mother of a beautiful Down Syndrome Girl. She is the smile on all of my family’s face. Just as much as my other daughter.
